I tried several. The only one that failed was Grandstand, and due to the fact that it was just Windows Media Player throwing an error message rather then the message you state I suspect that was just technical difficulties.
Then again, I am in New Zealand which if you believe our government is Australia's extra state.
I live in a city which once actually brought a lawsuit against itself - they had forgotten to obtain consent for a building, and decided to prosecute themselves to prove that noone is above the law. They ended up paying a hefty fine to themselves, and the lawyers walked off with a cool $6 million.
Nice try, but the article doesn't actually tell you anything about how the attackers got in, and admits that they still didn't know (at the time of writing). All it says is that the source code hosted on the server was not compromised. AC was commenting on the fact that something on Linux must have a vulnerability for it to have been cracked, and it can't have been just shitty insecure configuration on a server run by the people that write the damn kernel. You have failed to address his point.
No it isn't. In all my time I never saw such a thing. Either there was an IT department that set up the PCs with what passed for lockdown in Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, or everything ran on an NT 4 Terminal Server.
Most corporate desktop admins are far happier if the machine can be deployed with less mucking around. Just unboxing 1200 new machines is a pain in the ass... if they also have to reimage and reconfigure each new machine (actually easier and more streamlined than unboxing these days, but nonetheless, extra time, extra money they'd rather not spend), they'll not be so joyous, and everything slows down.
This isn't even slightly true. Already every corporate re-images every desktop they get because they all come with Windows 7 and their 12 year old Line of Business apps are all certified for Windows XP only. I know for each of our 15000 or so desktops, every one of them gets attached to the network and the first thing that happens is a tech hits F12 and whacks in the provisioning admin credentials to kick off the otherwise completely zero-touch imaging process. I don't know where you get the idea that it's extra time or that configuration is necessary. Deploying Windows over the network can be done with zero intervention.
Not true. There's more than enough porn created by average folks who... um... rather enjoy just being seen if you know what I mean. No payment required.
Google purchased Android, not developed it. And having both Android and iPhone in my house, I can safely say that the only features that are similar between the two are the ones Apple copied from Android (Notification Center anyone?)
No, because he's wrong. Open trial simply means that the trial isn't closed (i.e. secret). To not be an open trial, it pretty much has to involve government on one side, and national security.
Actually, if you have open Wifi in the course of your business there is an exemption due to providing service to transients. Also, the definition of an ISP (called an IPAP in the NZ law) is very narrow - technically you could even get the government's internet connection disconnected as even they qualify as an end-user.
Weird isn't it? The Porn industry is the only one that doesn't seem to attempt to write laws, but they're very quick to exploit them. Makes you wonder if Paramount Pictures is a subsidiary of Naughty America Inc or something, and the content producers are all owned by pornographers.
Not factually incorrect, just fucking stupid. Your idea takes power away from a non-profit oriented organisation and concentrates it in the hands of several profit oriented corporations. Then, for bonus points, it introduces several inherent security vulnerabilities, a gigantic namespace collision fault, and a violation of the HTML specification. It also relies on people being able to remember the IP addresses of every site they ever visit, or to rely on a profit oriented search engine to remember it for them (which, by the way, will simply result in the creation of a system whereby IP numbers are translated into easily memorable names. Let's call it "Domain Name System", and then centralise it with redundancy for safety reasons, and then we'll hand control of it to some organisation who exists solely for the purpose - perhaps the "Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers").
Dumb it down all you like... actually, don't bother. The idea's dumb enough already.

You mean offline within the UK or outside it? I just pulled up a BBC London stream no problem.

I'm more concerned that 19.2.3 actually restricts you bringing money into the event. What. The. Fuck.
The brand police are not the police. The IOC have been delegated almost governmental powers, but they are not law enforcement.
All laws are written by HM Government. It's not a federal republic.
(Local municipalities of course can write bylaws, but that's for civil administration, such as crowd control and garbage collection).
You mean 5 restores?
From tape?

Cadbury trademarked the fucking colour purple, so yeah.
Would that be a bad thing?
Oh, and likely Chillingo as well.
And then we can all go for a Swim at Kim's. Oh wait, if the argument's about copyright Kim would probably go for that.
What's this "we" you speak of?
Apple?

Huh. If that's the case, the Galaxy Tab doesn't infringe anyway, since it doesn't have a metallic surround. In fact it's cheap plastic.

The original iPhone also had tapered rectangular rounded corners.

It's plain text. Click it all you like, nothing will happen.

Isn't BlackBerry just a customised Android nowadays? Also, AC didn't mention Bada, but I did forget it.
